FLIPPA: IS IT WISE TO SELL DOMAIN NAMES THERE?

[Haroon Basha]

Flippa is charging $ 25 for listing a domain name. Paying more is not a problem provided they give good exposures to the name and better search optimization in their system. But the fact is by paying $ 25 you are not even get a 10 Views or a couple of Watchers. I can say proudly that NamePros is many times better than Flippa as far as RESPONSE is concerned. We can sell more domain names here than Flippa.

Moreover, they deleted the comments section; thereby virtually you cannot send any message during the listing period. What a insane decision indeed.

I really have high regard for Flippa, its cordial and prompt staff for their instant services, but why the management is silent with regard to so many criticisms against it with regard to increase in listing charges, curtailment of service, low response rate etc?

Domain name industry is going on a tough period these days, in this situation Flippa's decision to hike the listing fees is really ridiculous.

So this is fun.
Someone is posting on Facebook (not public page) that Flippa is offering 3 month listings for domain and websites for 25 dollars.
But, the if the auction is shorter than that, say the average 7-14 days, then the 3 months listing is OVER when the auction first ends.
Option to relist for 12 dollars and if it does not sell then, then back to 25 dollars.
So gone are the days of free relists apparently.

In flippa only the premium public auctions get proper views and bids.. otherwise its useless.

Yes, I noticed it. When I had 14 days listing by paying $ 25, they did not relist it free after 14 days, instead they asked me to pay 50% fee. I did not relist it.

How greedy and also advertising 3 months for 25 without a disclaimer that ending auction early forfeits the 3 month listing is really bad.

from what I read, I feel like ive wasted even just the time adding text records the past few months. I have stopped,

For those of you that have sold domains on Flippa, is it better to use auctions or domain classifieds?
